Not craft beer now but .. 15 years 11 months ago #1

Beamish ,

I notice that now the cans say that it's made in Heineken Irelands brewery It also says "Contains Barley and Wheat"


They've started adding Wheat to it !! I really don't know what to think .

Interesting I would if its malted wheat as no one malts wheat here?

Maybe bee then needed the grist reformulation to brew a product similar to the old Beamish on the Heineken system?

The cans have listed wheat as an ingredient prior to the Heineken takeover. I noticed it a couple of years ago.

Weird

Head brewer in Beamish never mentioned wheat at all when explaining the grist to me.

No date on the article and also , no citation as to where he got the info .




Must get the brother to dig out the cheat sheet we got on the day ...



Edit : Looking back now at an article I wrote soon after I see that some mention was made of wheat for it's head retention properties , but only as part of the general description of ingredients for beer , nothing seems to have been specifically mentioned about it in the Beamish recipe .

I'm stumped really , I would have thought that wheat as an ingredient would have jumped out at me on the day , but as I recall now it was all Barley , Lager malt , Roast Malt and and roasted barley .

( I'm human after all !!)
